Brian Coltrane Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Worth seeing for the 1965 Chrysler Imperial decked out with rockets, flamethrower, and dual machine guns. There's enough mayhem in this flick to please anybody.It's an action-comedy, a thankless category that always gets shortchanged by critics and panned by serious movie goers who are looking for more blood and guts and fewer jokes. But if you see the movie for the sake of seeing a nutty, glass-breaking shoot-em-up with car chases and explosions, you'll like it.Note, there is a 1969 Dodge Charger in this movie, but it just sits in the garage. You see it displayed teasingly in the early scenes, parked in a million dollar garage alongside other classic cars. Still, it seems to be an subliminal appeal to Dukes of Hazzard fans. Worked on me. I'll give this movie Three Yeehaa's outta five. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucasDucas Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I am curious to see how well this movie does. The modern day versions of Superhero films are always hit and miss in my opinion. The Batman films were a mixed bag, I love the first two Spiderman films (the third was so-so), and disliked the Hulk films (which was disappointing because as a kid it didn't get any better than the old Incredible Hulk series and the Dukes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked to be a one-up and I doubt we'll see a sequel. But it was fun. I'm one of these people who like lighter fare when I'm at the movies. If I want dark, heavy stuff, I need look no further than the news. Which is why I look forward to the upcoming THOR movie with mixed optimism. Wanton violence aplenty just in the trailer. For some people the line between "action" and "violence" is blurred anyhow, but the tone in THOR looks darker than I expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost_sheep3 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I liked the Green Hornet - it was a really good action-comedy. Like Brian said, a buddy-flick, but it had some great action - and of course the car! It wasn't on my 'gotta see it' list, but I'm glad I went, it was a great way to spend a few hours on a weekend afternoon here in the snowy frozen north. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MassageTherapist83 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I thought it was a decent movie. Not really a fan of Seth Rogan, but he did ok in the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
